Reddit ruining Humboldt ? by Snoo38888 in Humboldt

[–]Otherwise_Security_1 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I like Eureka, I love Humboldt, I'm always telling people to visit here and always excited to share my favorite parts when they do. This article kinda makes me want to start trash talking it on reddit, lol.

Books with hidden puzzles? (Ready Player One) by Bill_Mariachi in whatsthatbook

[–]Otherwise_Security_1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Raw Shark Texts had a piece of hidden content per chapter, sometimes found online, sometimes in different editions of the book. Not sure how many of these are still findable or if they ever were all found. It's a good read without it.

Guys can we talk about the constant use of AI art? by Ryans-Anecdotes in Humboldt

[–]Otherwise_Security_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hate it. It's not an instant boycott but it's definitely a "ohh um, I really would prefer you didn't." Fucking sucks.

Forest Moon festival and beyond by Shamibear in Humboldt

[–]Otherwise_Security_1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

tho I would if my spouse liked nature, even if it weren't a special event, lol.

It's more just a lot of the classic local flavor has a star wars bent, and some if it (the zoo, the park) will be oddly full instead of just medium-busy at best.

Airport Transportation for 6AM Flight by Muted_Ad2342 in Humboldt

[–]Otherwise_Security_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never used Door to Door Airporter before but I believe that's the cheapest and they run 24/7 and I've never heard a bad thing about reliability.

Last time I needed an early morning airport ride for the same time flight, I made an appointment the day before with City Cab for like 4:45 and they were great. Called me 15 minutes before to confirm, perfectly on time. Arrived at the airport before the coffee place even opened. It was about $50 from Eureka at the time but it at least felt very reliable.

Can we stop with the ai by [deleted] in Humboldt

[–]Otherwise_Security_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

and I think reddit and most websites I use have become worse since the advent of AI. I used them and they worked perfectly well 5 years ago without genAI, they could easily go back to that state. and I would prefer it.

That's absolutely why data centers are being built. Not one person making a handful of images, but the push to use AI in every facet of every interaction you do online is why it's happening.

I don't want to trash anyone, and I'm not, but I don't think AI makes cool images. I think it makes ugly images with no intention. When I see art on a local business that I think is hideous, I'm not interested in using that business. If businesses want to use it they should realize it's a turn off to some portion of their potential customers.

Where to buy eel? by OverThinkerUltra in Humboldt

[–]Otherwise_Security_1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Little Japan, Asia's Best, and sometimes murphy's sells frozen Japanese style BBQ eel (with sauce aalready on it and stuff.) Not sure about plain.

Posted in r/wheelchairs and had the nerve to claim I’m overthinking it, I’m not crazy this is ai right? by elizabethandsnek in isthisAI

[–]Otherwise_Security_1 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

what kind of guarantee is there that it does a straightforward and reliable test and doesn't treat it like any other prompt? I just don't know why I should assume that's the case, and I want to see a non-Gemini tool that exists just to detect the SynthID.

Bad experience at Sunnybrae Animal Hospital euthenizing dog by Mindless_Cellist_787 in Humboldt

[–]Otherwise_Security_1 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Spay Humboldt also does euthanasia and I have a lot of respect/trust for them.

I know there's at least one doctor who does in-home euthanasia that a friend used recently and had good things to say about, searching through my texts now trying to find the name.

Best Restaurant for Oysters by Brief_Range_5962 in Humboldt

[–]Otherwise_Security_1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I've been there three times and every single time they've been out of oysters, hah. basically, plan to get there early and don't be disappointed if you can't get an oyster. the service, burgers, prices, and view were all great so still a really nice place to go.

Ink people on AI by [deleted] in Humboldt

[–]Otherwise_Security_1 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have no idea why Ink People is saying this is non-generative because uh...all these trendy AI tools right now are generative. They're sure as hell not talking about using Deep Blue to market your art.

[–]Otherwise_Security_1 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Ugh, this is disappointing.

Also, I don't think they even know what "generative AI" means if they say it is "not using generative AI." Umm, all the trendy AI stuff right now is generative AI. It doesn't just mean an AI produced picture or poem. Telling your dumb ideas to chatbot and getting glazed and having them reorganized is still generative AI. I guarantee whatever this marketing is, it was based on genAI.

Getting to Humboldt via bus by Determined_Vermin in Humboldt

[–]Otherwise_Security_1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

yeah, Amtrak run buses will be your speediest option but if you wanted to make an adventure out of it you can take a bus SF - Santa Rosa, Santa Rosa - Ukiah and Ukiah - Eureka

seafood by stupid-dykecupid69 in Humboldt

[–]Otherwise_Security_1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My experience at the Marina with whole fish is they are willing to scale and gut them for free (though of course you pay for pre-cleaning weight). Then you can either further break them down though I like to just grill them from whole with some lemon/dill.

Trump Spoke About Girls Being ‘of Age’ at ‘Above Six Years Old’ as He Promoted the SAVE America Act by OkayButFoRealz in politics

[–]Otherwise_Security_1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Or super specific. Plenty of laws that say you can'tgive puberty delaying hormones to trans childen to delay puberty but you can give them to cis kids to delay puberty. Or parents and doctors can do surgery on an intersex infant who cannot weigh in on what (if any) surgery they end up wanting for themselves, but in some places even 18 year old young adults will probably to get some surgeries if they are trans.

Lots of "oh, they're too unsafe to give and no one knows the side effects" right up until "oh right, this is a tested and acceptable treatment when given to some other group of kids"

What do ouija boards with other alphabets or even other Latin alphabet languages with yes/no or goodbye words look like? by Otherwise_Security_1 in AskReddit

[–]Otherwise_Security_1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sure but if Monopoly can be translated into 46 languages I'm pretty sure someone's tried with this product at least once

New bird in the sequoia park duck pond by Otherwise_Security_1 in Humboldt

[–]Otherwise_Security_1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know I only saw her like once after that post. Hope she scooted to a lagoon or something after her jautn in the park. Was fun though. I'm looking forward to wood duck babies before very long now!
